Josh Hamilton made his spring debut with the Angels on Tuesday, going 0-for-3 in a game against Arizona's split squad.

"It was weird today, being in the dugout and having the uniform actually on," Hamilton admitted. "I walked by [Jered Weaver] and said, 'This is kind of weird.' He said, 'Yeah, it is -- but I like it.'"

Hamilton spent the previous five seasons with the Rangers, an AL West rival of his new club.

"It's strange a little bit," he said, "but the more time I spend out here with the guys, the more comfortable I get. The newness will wear off eventually, just like it does everywhere else."
